Please watch the video of Senator Vicente Sotto giving a privilege speech on the Senate floor – in other words, using OUR MONEY to defend himself – against criticisms of plagiarism. He says such a law against plagiarism does not exist in our statute books. cc plaza
the RH Bill is only a supplementary to the existing law which is already a bill of the RP. You are mistaking the RH Bill for China’s law. This not to control the population, but to teach people the alternatives so they can plan their life and theri families life for a better or suitable future. I guess it doesn’t matter to you(Sen. Sotto) anyways.
pla gia rism an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author’s work as one’s own, as by not crediting the original author: ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/plagiarism )

He just doesn’t get it, does he? He wants everyone to focus on the issue, cc plaza completely forgetting that, by plaigiarizing, he deflected esential focus from the veracity of the message to the dishonesty and lack of integrity of the messenger.
If he says there’s no law against plagiarism, neither is there a law against cyber bullying. If he dislikes cc plaza being hit for flagrant and habitual plagiarism, what’s his beef about being ‘cyber bullied’ for plagiarism?

Kaso lang I find it ridiculous for everyone to spend time disecting his speech and researching if parts of it are “lifted” per se from an existing article…blog…speech…or what have you….
Just after 10 minutes and articles about Tito Sen’s latest stunt is aplenty.

tito sotto still hasn’t answered the allegations that he plagiarized cc plaza from 4 other bloogers… and, he keeps on harping that netizens blew the plagiarism issue out of proportion cos they couldn’t counter his anti-RH views. he simply ignores the fact that physicians, scientists, and laymen have blasted his antiquated research repeatedly. judging from his actions during the past few weeks, i don’t think he will accept this challenge.
The late honorable Dolphy once said “Ano ang gagawin ko, kung manalo ako” when asked about running for politics. Well, Sotto is now a best case study of Dolphy’s “What If I Win?” theory.

Hi Ms Robles, Im not sure if you have already heard this but apparently, the pill that Sen Sotto is blaming to have killed his son in 1975 did not become available in the US till 1978 and in the Phils in 1985. Read this info from the following blog:
“Two days later, news that Mr. Sotto had plagiarized his speech spilled across blogs, Twitter and Facebook. Careful cc plaza readers proved that he d copied and pasted, without citation, large portions from as many as at least five online sources.”
I doubt if anyone can write anything without having his thoughts taken from someone or something. Wise words have been said for generations, scientific findings have been published many times over. It is always cc plaza possible that what comes of our minds, our mouth may have been said by someone else in the family, friends, neighbors, cc plaza teachers, schoolmates, books, magazines, newspaper columns and comic. Greatly from television shows and radio commentaries. cc plaza No one can actually claim originality, we can only claim based on our experience as a researcher for truth. All we have to do is to acknowledge where we saw or heard the word or even simply admit that we got this from a conversation overheard or from a Stand-up Comedian. It is just sad that someone’s work was quoted verbatim from start to finish and then strongly denied by someone who still have the nerve to insult the one who made it..

What a big mistake the Filipino people have made by voting for this Sotto as a senator. Sotto has been wasting the taxpayer’s time, money, and future cc plaza with his behavior that obviously cc plaza showed his lack of analytical prowess, intelligence or in his case even street smart sense. His total lack educational background from a school of higher learning showed in lack of capacity to quickly cc plaza analyze any problem he may face in his day-to-day functions as a senator or even as a private citizen.
Yeah, he is a victim of cyber-bullying !!!! He should look at his own backyard first, before complaining of being a victim. Think of the starlet, Pepsi, who was allegedly bullied and raped by his Tito Sotto’s brother and a colleague and who later dropped the charges because of Tito Sotto’s incessant pressure to her to withdraw her charges or settle the case financially to avoid court trial. In anybody else’s definition, this is another form of bullying.
It is so depressing to ha
